7:00am – Alarm sets off, but I switched it off and go back to sleep.

7:30am – Same as above.
8:00am – Same as above.
8:25am – Same as above, but I get neurotic with each passing minute.
8:26am – Same as above.
8:27am – Same as above.
8:28am – Same as above.
8:29am – Same as above.
8:30am – Oh noes, the dreadful time to get up and so I did. I’m off for shower.
8:45am – Grumbled that I’m very late for work. I made myself some toast.
8:55am – I got dressed, brushed my teeth.
9:05am – Looked at the clock – knowing my work starts at 9am but I’m very late (which doesn’t concern me the slightest because I can finish work late)
9:06am – Drove to work
9:30am – Start work

I’ve been working on this one for some time and am just getting back to it after a month-long hiatus. Funny how vacation and “freedom” from the routine throws a wrench in the schedule as well as practically negates any productivity.

A morning routine should be put in context. After all, the routine of a 21-year-old single college student is far different from that of a 35-year-old single mom working three jobs.

My morning routine is that of a husband and father of two little munchkins. I work a full-time 8-5 job, go to night school from 5:30-9:15 four nights a week as a pre-med student, train as a triathlete, and try to write a blogzine dedicated to newbie endurance athletes.

Here goes…

05:00 – Wake up and go into meditation session followed by an Early Morning Ritual which is comprised of a few yoga asanas and pranayama exercises.

05:30 – Write. Either for blogzine or book project du jour as a hired gun (I’m called upon to help get certain books back on track if the main author falls behind schedule)

06:30 – Run, bike, or swim

07:15 – Get ready for work

07:30 – Drive to work

08:00 – Start the main job.

I am trying to figure out how to take advantage of ideas like a morning routine when I also do Polyphasic Sleep, which I’ve absolutely loved. Has anyone found a way to combine them well? Productivity for the polyphasic sleeper seems to not always go on the same line as the monophasic sleepers, so I feel lost in a sea of information that just doesn’t apply to me.
